The Chamber of Commerce offers its congratulations to all of the team at Springfield Financial Servives Ltd on gaining renewal of their Corporate Chartered Status with the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII).

The Chartered title is an internationally-recognised professional designation; effectively the industry’s ‘gold standard’ for firms of independent financial advisers.

Chamber members Springfield are one of only a very small proportion of IFA firms in the UK to demonstrate the dedication and commitment required to qualify for Chartered status.

It signifies that they have satisfied rigorous qualification criteria and indicates the highest standards of ethical and professional conduct, up-to-date technical expertise and the proficiency of fully-qualified professionals who subscribe to the membership conditions of the CII.

It involves a commitment to the continuing professional development of all staff and adherence to an industry standard Code of Ethics which can be viewed at www.cii.co.uk/code.

Dealing with a Chartered firm means you are dealing with proven professionals. The CII is empowered by the Privy Council to award Chartered status, and the award is only made in deserving cases. And while Chartered titles are steeped in history, they remain the benchmark of professional excellence and integrity.
